It is perhaps not surprising that in 1965 FIRE DANCER was voted Boat of the Show at Earl’s Court as a true thoroughbred and embodiment of the term Cruiser Racer. The “Yachtsman” in January that year went on to write “……A superb yacht in a sea and one of first class performance round the course………..” FIRE DANCER to this day has retained all of the class that won her such accolades in her youth - a very English classic; gorgeously understated yet massively capable.

History

While in build for Commissioning owner DS Cottell one Captain McManus was inspired to have Moody's build an identical sister ship; MABEL AMELIA and both these boats were built to Lloyds 100A1.

She has been raced and cruised extensively and was featured in “Sailing Thoroughbreds”.

Recently, her top-side splines have been replaced and the engine and gearbox stripped down for overhaul. The through-hull floor bolts have all been replaced.
